I would've liked to backpatch but don't really care very much. If it's
going to take time away from others things, don't do it.

I landed up having to make my own lightly customised postgres packages to
use as test workflow inputs anyway. So I included the full set of isolation
test utilities, packaged the test inputs etc.

I'd prefer not to have to do it, but it's done. So long as it's fixed going
forward it didn't matter that much.

Now server_version_num on the other hand ... :P
